BAD weather rendered the Attendance
at the meeting of Confederates to-
day very small. w. Il. Beasley, of Ok
ford, presided. The purpose was to
consider q plan of establishing a sol
diors' home. TWAS finally decided that
county organizations should be effected,
and that they should perfect a State
organization to meet during the next
State Fair. 1t is hardly probable that
anything further will result from this
project.
The attendance at the reunion Of the
First North Carolina cavalry to-day
was also very small by reason of bad
weather. 1t was held in the city and
not at the fairgrounds. General Rob-
ert Ransom, the former commander of
the regiment, presided. He spoke, as
did also General Rufus Barringer, OF
Charlotte Colonel w. II. Cheek, of
Henderson, and Colonel \. b. An
drews, of Raleigh-all former officers
in the regiment. 1t was decided to
meet again during the next state Fair.
George Berry Taylor, of GoldsbOro',
the young white man who was so terri
bly, mangled by train at the fair
grounds here yesterday afternoon, died
in the hospital in this city this morn
ing. His age was eighteen. His body
was taken to Goldsboro' this morning.
